"Top Tropical Caroni for beginners! Reminiscent of a blend of Foursquare (coconut) and Caroni. Really exciting!"

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Very approachable Caroni, the HTR profile only subtly echoes and is framed by the heavy sweetness, elegant spices and subtle tropical fruit of the LTR style. Pleasant to drink."

"Alcohol burns a bit for both nose and mouth and could have been integrated better. Otherwise, profile is really round with coconut, pastries, vanilla and Caroni notes which are very shy in the background. Good rum overall, that's a bit pitty that alcohol is not correctly integrated."

"Kirsch Cruise Berlin 2024 Im Vergleich mit dem 2000er, den ich vorher im Glas hatte, ist dies leider der "Verlier" der beiden. Bringt zwar auch alles mit, was man so von einem Caroni erwartet, aber Insgesamt gesehen überzeugt er mich nicht zu 100%. Mit Cola aber eine echte Bombe."
